Jeu de définitions!

I just heard from Maggie in NYC… she got her level C in oral interaction!… I can take such good news any time!… Especially at the beginning of the week… This morning, I had my last two hour session with Mark who is located in New Brunswick… In my last post, I had written that usually men are not nervous about their SLE tests… well… I just met the exception this past weekend! Mark was in a panic state when he did contact me last Friday evening…  but, this morning, he was calm and confident… I am 100% sure that he will get the C he is looking for!… Useless to mention that my weekend was rather intense: several hours of last minute coaching is always very demanding… yet I feel good when I know that my trainees will make it!… and even better when they get their results!

Congratulations Maggie!

Today, I chose a text related to terminology… there are various types of short texts before and after the main text of a book. I gave it a try and I got 50/50… I think it is easier because we are given the letters of each word… and, of course, definitions really help! I am pretty sure that you will be able to get a perfect score on that one as well…

These past few days, weather improved a bit… but it still does not feel like summer…

One thing I am sure of though is that there will not be any drought around here soon!

    Bonjour Lyne,

    J’ai eu 35/50… Je n’ai pas trouvé “avant-propos”, “avertissement” et “épigraphe”.

    J’ai mal à la tête, ça doit expliquer ce mauvais score (hum hum !!!).

    Ici il fait très orageux et 30°C. Il y a quelques jours les températures atteignaient à peine 20°C… Tels sont les étés à Paris depuis quelques années :(

      Bonjour Isabelle,

      Soit que ce soit la migraine, soit que ce soit un besoin urgent de vacances! ;-)

      J’avoue avoir eu du mal à trouver le dernier terme (sans doute parce qu’à la fin du mélange de lettres, on peut lire “secret”… et ça nous reste dans la tête quoi!).

      Ici aussi nous avons un été lamentable: nous passons du froid à la canicule et il y a aussi énormément de pluie! Ce phénomène semble s’être installé l’été dernier… si c’est ça le réchauffement de la planète, alors là je m’en passerais volontiers!

      Bonne semaine!
